I have thought about this also, but to make this work you need to push down on two wheels and block/lift on one.   I have been trying to decide how to do this, and think I have arrived at putting the frame of a tractor over one wheel/beam,  block one wheel and then  push down with the bobcat on the third.

Lifting it up on its side and placing the rear axle between two stout trees  growing close to each other was suggested by one person a while back ago. I have been looking for those two trees all over my property but I have not found them yet  :-) 

 If I do that would be an interesting experiment.

I thought first about putting a big bale or something on the wagon, but you’d want to be careful about springing the frame of the wagon.  You only want to move the running gear.  If the box is still on the frame, you might even want to jack the box up so the twist would only be to the running gear.  That way you could come back every day or so and resoak the running gear.
